Want to learn how to write a poem or a collection of poetry from your life experience?

This workshop will help select memorable events in your life and create a poem. First, you choose experiences you want to share and write them down as regular prose writing.  Then you convert your prose story into a poem. But here’s the FUN! All final poems from the participants will be published in a small anthology book of poems for you to share with family and friends.
